I can check tomorrow again. However… after I wrote "512" to the
"/var/lib/initscripts/brightness" file, brightness is set correctly after
reboot. So I am not sure I can reproduce the original condition after
the update anymore.
So or so, I think it would be good to ensure a minimum brightness level,
as a completely blank display can only be fixed with a live Linux, SSH
access or some other out of band management access.
